In January 2020 Sophia hosted a webinar for the UChicago alumni community titled "The Non-Technical Founder's Introduction to Tech."
She provided insights on how to effectively work in the tech business without having a tech background, touching on product management, front-end vs. back-end development, user experience design and testing, and analytics.
She was a wonderful presenter providing actionable and motivating tips for fellow UChicago alumni.
We loved working with Sophia!
